Resolution Criteria
This market resolves to YES if, before the market close date, the United States government officially provides military support directly to Russia. Military support includes:
Weapons systems or ammunition
Military vehicles or aircraft
Military personnel for combat operations
Direct military funding explicitly for Russia's armed forces
Military intelligence
The market resolves to NO if:
No such military support is provided by the U.S. to Russia before the market close date
Update 2025-03-01 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): Weapons Transactions:
Both direct sales (where the U.S. government sells military equipment) and providing military equipment for free count as providing support.
Contractor Involvement:
Allowing U.S.-based major military contractors to sell military equipment to Russia is considered military support.
@vernalpool has the US ever been this friendly to them though? Seems moderately likely that the sanctions will end soon
Does selling them stuff count as providing it, or does it only count if it's for free like with Ukraine until now? What about just allowing US based major military contractors to sell to them (I'm assuming they're currently not allowed)?
